I don't know, but I could definitely see it unless they've upgraded =
(i.e. thrown out and started over) their system from a few years ago.  I =
used to support a system that talked to Sabre and what a pain!  Having =
to calculate dates based on a pseudo-Julian date because they could save =
2 bytes per card (card image), each card having it's own record type in =
a specific order, etc.  Icky!

Sometimes the good old days weren't!
